Named Webster

Famous quotes containing the words named and/or webster:

    1946: I go to graduate school at Tulane in order to get distance from a “possessive” mother. I see a lot of a red-haired girl named Maude-Ellen. My mother asks one day: “Does Maude-Ellen have warts? Every girl I’ve known named Maude-Ellen has had warts.” Right: Maude-Ellen had warts.
    Bill Bouke (20th century)

    Heaven-gates are not so highly arched
    As princes’ palaces: they that enter there
    Must go upon their knees.
    —John Webster (1580–1625)
